Broadcast receiving system

Abstract

A broadcast receiving system includes: a first receiving unit receiving broadcast data for a first transmission method; a second receiving unit receiving broadcast data for a second transmission method; a first decoding unit decoding the broadcast data received by the first receiving unit; a second decoding unit decoding the broadcast data received by the second receiving unit; a video output unit outputting video, the video being generated based on data decoded by the first or second decoding unit; an operation input unit receiving control information from a remote controller; and a control unit controlling the units based on the control information received by the operation input unit. The remote controller includes a button to output control information for switching between a display state and a non-display state of service, the service being linked with a broadcasting program.

The invention claimed is: 
     
       1. A broadcast receiving system comprising:
 a broadcast receiving apparatus configured to receive broadcast data for an MMT transmission method; and 
 a remote controller configured to transmit a command to the broadcast receiving apparatus to operate the broadcast receiving apparatus, 
 wherein the broadcast receiving apparatus includes:
 a broadcast receiver configured to receive the broadcast data for the MMT transmission method; 
 a network transceiver configured to execute network communication; 
 a decoder configured to decode the broadcast data received by the receiver and/or data received by the network transceiver; 
 a display configured to display a video being generated based on data decoded by the decoder; 
 a command receiver configured to receive a command transmitted from the remote controller; and 
 a processor configured to control each of the broadcast receiver, the decoder and the display, based on control information received by the command receiver, 
 
 wherein the broadcast receiver is further configured to receive layout control information used for controlling a screen layout, 
 wherein the decoder is further configured to decode data of multimedia service acquired via the broadcast receiver and/or the network transceiver and linked with a program of the broadcast data for the MMT transmission method, 
 wherein the processor is further configured to:
 execute a first control for switching between a display state and a non-display state of a display screen of the multimedia service of the MMT transmission method decoded by the decoder, on the display; and 
 execute a second control for switching of a screen layout of the video displayed on the display between a default layout and the screen layout based on the layout control information received by the receiver, and 
 
 wherein the remote controller is configured to include a predetermined button, and to output a command for causing the processor to execute the first control or the second control in response to an operation on the predetermined button. 
 
     
     
       2. The broadcast receiving system according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the broadcast receiving apparatus further includes a separator configured to separate the multimedia service linked with the program from the broadcast data for the MMT transmission method received via the broadcast receiver. 
 
     
     
       3. The broadcast receiving system according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the broadcast receiving apparatus further includes a memory configured to temporarily cache the multimedia service linked with the program. 
 
     
     
       4. The broadcast receiving system according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the command received by the command receiver is transmitted from the remote controller via an infrared ray or wireless communication. 
 
     
     
       5. The broadcast receiving system according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the processor is further configured to identify a setting related to automatic start of the multimedia service linked with the program, and 
 wherein the processor is configured to execute the first control or the second control in accordance with a result of the identification in response to the command output from the remote controller corresponding to the operation on the predetermined button received by the command receiver when the display displays the program. 
 
     
     
       6. The broadcast receiving system according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the processor is configured to execute the first control or the second control depending on whether the network transceiver can execute the network communication or not in response to the command output from the remote controller corresponding to the operation on the predetermined button received by the command receiver when the display displays the program.
